Personally I don’t believe other OG’s when they say they have reached a state of bitcoin zen.

1. Because OG’s talk and I hear stories privately of people freaking out about price action.

2. Because I myself am still deeply uncomfortable most of the time in my Hodl position.

I find it kind of dishonest. My favorite Bitcoiner’s are the ones who say some version of “yes it sucks, it always sucks. Life’s not supposed to be easy. Stop being a pussy.”

That’s the honest version.

P.S. the above is pretty much a direct quote from a billionaire friend.

I feel like one should not earn the OG title if they held assets other than bitcoin in their portfolio.

If it's long term savings then the price shouldn't bother you, if you need liquidity then you may be over invested. Just see low prices as an opportunity to accumulate.

It’s hard, but it’s just money. So many other things matter more.

I can't blame you for being uncomfortable. I've been telling everyone, since i made my first purchase, that Bitcoin could still fail and just be remembered as the precursor to something better and more secure. Is that not the progressional path that all forms of money have taken throughout history? ...

I don't buy the dip any more. I just DCA. I've missed out on a lot of Sats over the years. But I'm healthy, have a beautiful family, alayover and love. The amount of BTC I have hasn't changed. It isn't for me, it is for my daughters anyway. Maybe my wife in the event of untimely death.

As someone who learned what it takes to hodl from various OG’s, I agree that it’s the honest stories about how challenging it is that facilitate new entrant conviction and curiosity to study bitcoin. When I get panicky, I think about where else I would put my savings and eventually settle mysel...

Yes number go down is not fun and pretending it is hurts more than it helps, particular with people new to the fun.

After all these years,el even though I know the math works, the dips still suck. It's like we know the double spending problem is solved, but single panic spending is still a problem.

I've also heard that billionaires get salty over over billionaires having more money with them, which is retarded. A bitcoin OG , by definition, would have gotten in so early , and accumulated so much , that they are still balling harder than 99% of the plebs out here, sucking dick in the fiat mines...

Bitcoin is a technology to lower our time preference and calm our nervous system(s) so that we can evolve. Period. If it doing the opposite for you based solely upon it’s perceived value vs. Fiat (as you seem to indicate), then take a deeper look at yourself. Or sell. Bitcoin doesn’t care eit...

Our disappointment is still at the all time high levels of 2021 and we don’t even have banks failing or exchanges crashing out. Just some expected volatility of an asset that is still viewed as speculative imo

This is my third cycle, and it does suck psychologically, especially if you need liquidity, but if holding and no plans on selling, then count your blessings and focus on the next cycle and plan accordingly.

Sorry, I'm only on the "Yes it sucks" stage. Any advice for getting to "it always sucks" at least?

I'd find it far easier if I has dozens or 100's or thousands of corn.. Rather then my scrappings of SATs...
